Nocturnal Blood Pressure Dipping and Ventricular Repolarization in Hypertension
Sponsor: Assiut University
Summary
The primary aim is to determine whether non-dipping status is associated with adverse repolarization markers and impaired myocardial mechanics compared to dipper hypertensive patients. Secondary analyses will compare these findings among resistant vs. non-resistant and controlled vs. uncontrolled hypertensive groups. This study may provide new insights into the prognostic significance of blood pressure dipping patterns in hypertensive patients.

Nocturnal Blood Pressure Dipping
Patients will be classified as dippers (≥10% nocturnal BP fall) or non-dippers (\<10% nocturnal BP fall) based on 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring.
